>The "Nordic Model" that became vogue in American political discourse is the Norwegian model, which is almost entirely subsidized by oil. We may as well copy Saudi's social welfare program then (on a separate note it is actually pretty generous after massive concessions were given after the Arab Spring).
Unironically yes. The US is the largest producer of oil and the fourth largest exporter. Use the oil money to fund healthcare.
